I hope Ciara is o.k. and gets better quickly.

Great job in Vermont. It was cool to see you in action. Amazing how this blog stuff comes full circle at events when you finally meet people. You really rallied from a bad stretch early on and brought it home. Fantastic job - looking forward to reading all of the details.

Wow, sounds like an eventful weekend. I thought spiders just barked not bit?

Hopefully, recovery goes well.

Hi Scott, So happy that Ciara is doing well. We didn't get to talking about family while running together, but I've caught up on that via the blog.
So now when you have a moment, could you home me in on that GPS business that the Slammer posted? I hope it was just last year because the course was different prior to that.

A couple of interesting things regarding race finish times. You came in about 5 minutes before me on Sunday morning. How about them last 12 miles?
I also saw that you ran a 4:24:54 at Nipmuc. I haven't been back for a couple of years, due to work conflicts, but on a very hot day in 2005 I managed to do 4:24:17 That took about 9 minutes off of the standing 60's age division record and has held up. I'm hoping to run it again next year.
I think we should run it together because we seem to be about even in our running. For now, Zeke Zucker
